vim how to search for URL

Question

How would you search for the following string in vim?

http://my.url.com/a/b/c

I\'ve tried (a la Very No Magic)

:/\\Vhttp://         


        

Answer 1

I'm not sure why you get not an editor command since I don't. The simplest way to search without having to escape slashes is to use ? instead, e.g.

:?http://my.url.com/a/b/c
" or since the : is not necessary
?http://my.url.com/a/b/c

This does search in the other direction, so just keep that in mind
